Summary
The first clone of an endangered species died last week, 2 days after its birth on 8 January. The baby gaur--a wild ox native to Southeast Asia--seemed healthy at birth but a day later developed a typically fatal bacterial infection that can plague young calves. The death "appears to be totally unrelated" to the cloning procedures, according to the company that sponsored the project.
